Youll Not take Me
The angle of death to me spoke "You have sinned my son" "Rightfully you belong in hell" "You're not the only one..." At him my head did shake, "Foolish devil what pact you make?" "Add another to your halls?" "It's not my life you'll take!" He returned a toothed grin, "Here before me is the list" He gestured away With his opened fist "The pile stands high, feel awe" "But others still higher" "They have truer sins" "On which they build a human pyre." My retort, short not sweet, "Evil to the heart do you not see?" "The shining brightness within?" "The shining within me?" "Be blinded core of evil" "Give way to the good" He shielded his eyes As before me he stood "The brightness!" he cried "What could shine so?" "Within the halls of hell..." "So far down below?" He started as I laughed, He waited to see, I waited till I said, "You will have to see!" |
